AI Article Synopsis

  • - Atopic dermatitis (AD) has a complex and varied progression, not just limited to childhood but also affecting adults, with some individuals experiencing symptoms from childhood into adulthood.
  • - Recent studies show different patterns of AD onset, including cases that start in childhood and others that begin in adulthood, indicating various triggers or factors involved.
  • - Evaluating how AD develops over time is crucial for creating personalized treatment plans, highlighting the need for a nuanced understanding of the condition's changes over a person's life.

Article Abstract

The longitudinal course of atopic dermatitis (AD) is heterogeneous and complex. While previously thought to be a childhood disorder, recent studies demonstrated that childhood-onset AD may take several different courses that may involve persistence into adulthood becoming a lifelong condition. Other patients only demonstrated adult-onset AD. Different factors may play a role in the timing of AD onset. Assessing the longitudinal course also involves understanding the changing temporal pattern of AD. Understanding the dynamic course of AD is important in identifying individualized treatment recommendations for patients.

While the phenotypic diversity of childhood wheezing is well described, the subsequent life course of such phenotypes and their adult outcomes remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that different childhood wheezing phenotypes have varying longitudinal outcomes at age 26. We sought to identify factors associated with wheezing persistence, clinical remission, and new onset in adulthood.

Objectives: Using a national sample of Americans, this study estimated and compared patterns of depressive symptom trajectories stratified by military service. This study then examined associations between sociodemographic factors theorized to shape entry into military service and trajectory patterns.

Method: Data came from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, a nationally representative study that followed participants from adolescence (1994-1995) through midlife (2016-2018).

Objective: To compare the vocal symptomatology of professors from a federal university who engaged in distance, hybrid, and face-to-face teaching during and after the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic period.

Method: The study included 40 university professors, 20 men and 20 women, whose symptomatology was monitored at three time points: during the distance teaching period due to social isolation caused by COVID-19, in hybrid teaching (partial return), and upon returning to face-to-face teaching, which required the use of face masks and posed contamination risks.

Results: The hybrid phase presented the highest absence of vocal complaints/discomfort, and most participants did not need to be reassigned due to vocal problems.

Background: This study examines the longitudinal patterns of dental care use from adolescence to middle adulthood (ages 11-43) and investigates racial and ethnic disparities in these patterns.

Methods: Data from Waves I through V of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (1993-2018; ages 11-43). Semiparametric group-based trajectory model identified distinct dental care use trajectories.

Impact of malnutrition on the clinical evolution in a cohort of older patients undergoing emergency surgery for abdominal pathology.

Department of Geriatrics, La Paz University Hospital, Madrid, Spain; Hospital La Paz Institute for Health Research (IdiPAZ), La Paz University Hospital - Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Madrid, Spain; Faculty of Medicine, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Madrid, Spain.

Purpose: Analyse the influence of the nutritional status of older patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery on postoperative complications, mortality and mean length of hospital stay.

Methods: We performed a longitudinal observational study including patients older than 80 years who underwent emergency surgery by the general surgery service for abdominal pathology, who were followed by the geriatrics service between September 2018 and May 2021. Malnutrition was diagnosed using Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, classifying patients as malnourished and normonourished.
